SHE – A new TOS Project at Adyar
The Strength, Health & Energy [SHE] Project was commenced on August 12, 2012, on the birth anniversary of H.P. Blavatsky, following the success of The Seeing Eyes for Everyone [SEE] Project, which was started in September, 2007, to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Damodar K. Mavalankar. The project aims to address the health & vitality issues of the underprivileged. The first step has been to conduct a battery of tests as part of a Master Health Check-up package for employees & contract workers at the Adyar Headquarters. The process was carried out at Precision Diagnostics, which is a part of the Medall group.
The centre has state-of-the-art facilities. Dr. Akila Ravikumar successfully coordinated the project on behalf of the hospital. Persons who underwent this process were picked up & dropped from the Library Gate at the Adyar Estate. All 127 reports are to be in the TS Dispensary, for suitable follow up, if required. The entire process was overseen by Mr. Chaganti V.K. Maithreya, Dr. Sunita Maithreya & Mr. V.Gopalan of the Theosophical Order of Service, Chennai. The Estate Management & the respective departments cooperated by appropriately permitting the workers to avail of the opportunity, as per a pre-fixed schedule. Members of the Vasanta Youth Lodge volunteered to do the back-end paperwork for the project. This project is being subsidized to an extent by The Order of the Round Table Association.
